Is there a way to remind me of the themes before I go to upload photos that don't qualify? You guys are coming up with some real good ones that I'll forget before time comes to use them. How do you all manage to remember them?

I know that the SIC has a calendar function for themes that they employ that I see at the bottom of the PF page.....

It'd be cool if something like that could be done for DIC.
Another way is to double up on challenges that do send periodic reminders. Anyone tried 52Frames.com? I was a regular until I went thru a dry spell, but have been meaning to get back into it.
It's a simple 52 weeks project but the site owner has done some major revamping and taken the site off big social media platforms, so now it's its own thing.
Here's the next month worth of weekly themes:

Week 40: Blue (that's THIS week!)
Extra Credit: Use CTB Gel
Due: Sunday, October 4, 2020, at 11:59 pm, Eastern U.S. time
---
Week 41: Shoot Through
Extra Credit: Candid on the Street
Due: Sunday, October 11, 2020, at 11:59 pm, Eastern U.S. time
---
Week 42: Food Photography
Extra Credit: Complementary Colors
Due: Sunday, October 18, 2020, at 11:59 pm, Eastern U.S. time
---
Week 43: Reflections
Extra Credit: Use a Mirror
Due: Sunday, October 25, 2020, at 11:59 pm, Eastern U.S. time

I’ve taken to adding them to my calendar once they’ve been agreed on and posted, so I get a reminder on my Watch/phone in the morning

I will tentatively sign up for October. I'll be using the DA20-40 Limited for the Single In, but there's a DFA*85 burning a hole in my pocket, and it needs an outlet. Among other things....

I did so very poorly in September. I'd like to try again in October, but I'd be so ashamed to fail again. I'm just so out of the habit of daily photography. I'm also mostly working from home; so I get in the habit of not leaving home at all.

Think we would rather you pop in when you want than make you feel pressure of daily shooting.

But I will be in again for Oct

Plenty of good suggestions to choose from.. How's this?

Saturday October 3 = multiple exposure
Sunday October 4 = macro other than flowers
Saturday October 10 = architecture
Sunday October 11 = interval shooting
Saturday October 17 = in-camera filter
Sunday October 18 = technology
Wednesday October 21 - selfie
Saturday October 24 = intentional camera movement
Sunday October 25 = lightpainting
Saturday October 31 - halloween

You know what, I think I'll join in here this month. I was going to SIC the Takumar 135mm f/3.5 on the A7iii but I've been hankering for some Voigtlander usage so the Ultron SL-ii 40mm f/2 will get a run out.

Looks good to me. A few things I'm no good at and/or don't like but the challenge "forces" me to engage with them
